About myPOIs

myPOIs is based in Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin.

We collect information on places of interest mostly throughout Ireland.

A place or point of interest is anything from a hotel to a tourist attraction, petrol station, cemetery, historic castle or business - places that people want to find out about and
more importantly how to get to.

We started back in 2006 and for the first few years, we gathered
information on locations for satellite navigation systems such as Garmin and TomTom when there was very little information preloaded
onto these devices.

These days the emphasis is very much on location searching and navigation for smartphones.

We find the exact location of these places so if your are using a GPS enabled mobile device such as a smartphone or
sat-nav you will be able to get turn-by-turn directions to them. Often we have additional information such as contact details and numbers, email addresses and
website links. Each listing is fully optimised for use with mobile devices making it incredibly easy for people to find.

Our Ethos
It's simple. Our service is free to those who want to list with us and free to use. We aim to create a location information directory of Ireland available to everybody for everybody.
With so many people now using smartphones and sat-navs to get about, exact locations are expected and what better way for a business
to attract new customers by letting everyone know exactly where you are!

But why not just use Google Maps?
myPOIs is not an alternative to Google maps, in fact we also use Google maps. If you want your location on a Google map, in most cases, you have to tell
Google yourself, it doesn't happen automatically. This is
where we come in, we get that precise location. We then present it and information about it in an easy to
use way on mobile devices. We also get the locations of places that Google knows nothing about. This might be a GAA ground, golf course,
tennis club, cemetery, hospital, Garda station, petrol station, your business - in fact anything. So when you google a GAA ground and click on our link,
you get all the contact details and a map is an easy to use format.
